In the past, Stewart said he would haveย entertained a return as Xaiver if Logan didn’t put a definitive end to the character’s story. At the time, he spoke about extensive conversations with Kevin Feige, and it seems like things may have worked out for everyone.ย
“Here’s a tiny anecdote. The first time that Hugh [Jackman] and I saw the film in public was at the Berlin Film Festival, which is where the movie premiered. Shortly after Xavier’s death scene, I found myself getting very emotional but I had to keep a hold of myself because we were sitting in the middle of this cinema. And then I saw Hugh’s hand come up to his eye and wipe away a tear. I thought, ‘Dammit, the bugger’s crying. Oh, let it out, Patrick.’” Stewart admits that eventually, he sat there “sniveling.”
